For six years, Aligning Forces communities have worked with local health care stakeholders — the people who give, get and pay for care — to improve their health system. Local leaders and national experts explain how different communities are making fundamental changes to enhance care by:
• Using data to measure and report on the performance of local doctors
• Measurably improving the quality of care delivered
• Engaging patients in their health care
• Exploring ways to pay health care providers based on quality of care
